To get energy. Sugars are particularly important fuel molecules. They are oxidized in the food we eat and must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them.
What else can I help you with?
Where inside plants does the body break down sugar to produce energy?
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
When cells breakdown a sugar molecule to produce chemical energy?
A chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar
When cells breakdown a sugar molecule completely to produce chemical energy (ATP) the cells need?
To break down sugar and produce useful energy, the cells need many things, but most importantly they need ENZYMES.
Why does temperature break down a sugar cube?
Temperature can cause a sugar cube to break down because heat provides energy to the molecules in the sugar, allowing them to vibrate more rapidly and break apart. This process of breaking down sugar due to heat is called caramelization.
Plant and animal cells break down sugar in order to obtain what?
Both plant and animal cells break down sugar (glucose) in order to obtain energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration. This energy is used for various cellular functions such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
Where inside plants does the body break down sugar to produce energy?
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
What is the process by which cells break down sugar molecules and releases energy?
I believe that is fermentation.
Fermentation causes cells to break down sugar into carbon dioxide and?
Fermentation causes cells to break down sugar into carbon dioxide and ethanol (alcohol) in the absence of oxygen. This process allows cells to generate energy by producing ATP through glycolysis.
When animal cells break down sugar what two things are released?
carbon dioxide and water
When cells breakdown a sugar molecule to produce chemical energy?
A chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar
What product left over when cells of green plants break down food to obtain energy?
It is sugar
Describe how you not get energy directly from the food that you eat?
When you consume food, your body breaks it down into sugar. Your body uses the sugar as energy for the cells. Some foods break down into sugar faster than others.
When cells breakdown a sugar molecule completely to produce chemical energy (ATP) the cells need?
To break down sugar and produce useful energy, the cells need many things, but most importantly they need ENZYMES.
Does the circulatory system break down sugars?
Blood sugar is broken down in muscle fibres to produce mechanical power, and in cells to produce heat.
What occur during respiration?
Cells break down simple food molecules such as sugar and release the energy it contains.
How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
Why don't animal cells have a lysosome in them?
Animal cells have lysosomes because they need it. Plant cells don't. Lysosomes break down food in the cell. Plant cells make sugar, which doesn't need to be broken down. Hope you find this helpfull ;-)
